Weaving Technique

Odisha Ikat is a kind of Ikat, a resist dyeing technique, originating from Indian state of Odisha. Also known as 'Bandha of Odisha'. Bandha can be defined as "A length of systematically arranged yarn, dyed according to a preconceived design in such a manner so as to enable a weaver to portray the design when the yarn is converted to a fabric through the process of weaving". A notable feature in this Ikat is that it depicts the same colourful design motif on both its front and back. No additional yarn is required to produce this effect.

Art Origin

Gopalpur village is famous for producing Tussar fabrics. It is in Jajpur District in the Indian state of Odisha. Around 5,000 people are dependent on this Tussar silk industry for income. Fabric is mostly woven by tie and die bandha technique.
